Tanks! Nice hint! :-)

PTV3000 does not seems to work even with the stock Android/Nexus
(Streamcast) nor Windows 7 (Intel WiDi).

I have ordered a Streamcast dongle from Google, lets give it a try :-)

Then lets try to port OpenWFD to FreeBSD with any (or both) hadrware
dongles support :-)

Cool :-) It would be nice to have wireless HDMI on our beloved FreeBSD =)

From a first glance OpenWFD is a userspace daemon so maybe it wont be
sooo hard to port :-) I just wonder how it would work with Xorg :-)
Maybe next week I will have some time to look :-)

I have just received a Chromecast from Google dongle =) IT WORKS!
Amazingly from start, on my old Nexus7, seems to work on OSX as well.
Now time for FreeBSD :-)

I think Chromecast would be the way to go.. Google must have it
already implemented in open-source, it can stream sound so it could be
also good alternative for Bluetooth A2DP.. and it cost only $35 :-)

Best regards! :-)

Good news - Chromecast does work like a charm.

Good news - Chromium has this nice "CAST" extension that allows to
render website and stream it via Chromecast. Its then recognised by
Youtube player itself. It works nice with OSX.

Bad news - Cast extension crashes Chromium (Version 37.0.2062.94
(290621) (64-bit)) just after install on FreeBSD (10.0-RELEASE AMD64).

Still, something is already out there, just need some tuning, it seems
:-) Maybe a new release of Chromium will bring fixes and no work is
even necessary :-)
